Whether it's about the latest game, hitting your fitness goals, or just chatting about life's ups and downs, we've got you covered.
We started this podcast because we know that being a Buckeye is more than just cheering on game day. It's about making connections, growing together, and enjoying the ride, no matter where we're headed.

So, whether you're into the nitty-gritty of football, looking for some inspiration, or just want to hear what other Buckeyes are up to, tune in. We'll be chatting with former players, experts, and fans who love Ohio State as much as you do. And we're all about keeping it real, having fun, and staying focused on what matters.
